On broadcast, the Nexus player is seen dipping his fingers into a cup of water and lightly moistening his cloth mousepad before each map. The clip quickly spread across Reddit and social media, prompting discussion that ranged from jokes to technical explanations \u2014 with experienced players noting a practical purpose behind the habit rather than superstition.<\/p>\n<h3>Friction control and consistent feel<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-360280-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/clip_01KJDDH7KHYN3XTCDQVQ3CE08A.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/clip_01KJDDH7KHYN3XTCDQVQ3CE08A.mp4\">https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/clip_01KJDDH7KHYN3XTCDQVQ3CE08A.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>The core idea behind this method is stabilizing the friction between the mouse and the mousepad. At LAN tournaments, playing conditions can differ significantly from bootcamps or home setups: temperature, air humidity, stage ventilation, and even desk materials can all vary.<\/p>\n<p>Cloth mousepads are particularly sensitive to humidity. In dry environments, they tend to feel faster; in more humid conditions, they slow down. For low-sensitivity players who rely heavily on precise micro-adjustments, these subtle changes can disrupt muscle memory. Lightly moistening the surface allows players to artificially normalize glide, making mouse movement more predictable from map to map.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-network-update-stun-ice-valve-response\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/662243.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Network changes in CS2 spark widespread discussion: Valve clarifies the STUN and ICE situation\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-network-update-stun-ice-valve-response\">Network changes in CS2 spark widespread discussion: Valve clarifies the STUN and ICE situation<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-network-update-stun-ice-valve-response\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776321342#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776321342#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776321342#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Feb 26<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>fnl isn\u2019t the only one<\/h3>\n<p>As Reddit users quickly noted, fnl is far from the first professional player to use this technique.
